Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Eimer, insbesondere zum Tränken von Tieren, beispielsweise Kälbern oder dergleichen, mit einem Saugzapfen an einer die Eimerwandung durchdringenden Durchführung und wenigstens je einem Durchbruch in der Eimerwand auf der Seite des Saugzapfens und der gegenüberliegenden Seite zum Einhängen des Eimers in eine Tragvorrichtung.The invention relates to a bucket, in particular for watering animals, for example calves or the like, with a suction pin on a bushing penetrating the bucket wall and at least one opening in the bucket wall on the side of the suction pin and the opposite side for hanging the bucket in a carrying device .

In der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung P 3 620 878.7 ist eine Tränkeinrichtung mit einem Eimer beschrieben. Die miteinander fluchtenden und nach außen über die Eimerwandung überstehenden Endabschnitte seines Tragbügels bilden zwei Lagerzapfen, mittels deren der Eimer in die Tragvorrichtung eingehängt wird. Es ist dadurch möglich, den Eimer aus der Gebrauchsstellung um 180° in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung zu schwenken. Der Aufwand für die Tragvorrichtung, welche zwei den Eimer zwischen sich aufnehmende Tragarme benötigt, ist hierbei relativ groß, zumal die Tragarme eine Verschiebbarkeit der Lagerzapfen quer zu ihrer Längsachse zulassen müssen und Sicherungsmittel erforderlich sind, um den Eimer in den beiden Schwenkstellungen zu sichern.In the unpublished German patent application P 3 620 878.7, an impregnation device with a bucket is described. The end sections of its support bracket which are aligned with one another and project outwardly beyond the wall of the bucket form two bearing journals by means of which the bucket is suspended in the support device. This makes it possible to swivel the bucket from the use position by 180 ° to a non-use position. The effort required for the carrying device, which requires two carrying arms to hold the bucket between them, is relatively large, especially since the carrying arms must allow the journals to be displaced transversely to their longitudinal axis and securing means are required to secure the bucket in the two pivoted positions.

Bei einem bekannten Eimer der eingangs genannten Art (DE-U 7 505 911) ist die Eimerwand sowohl auf der Seite des Saugzapfens als auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite derart abgeflacht, daß diese beiden abgeflachten Bereiche parallel zueinander und lotrecht zum Boden verlaufen. In diesen abgeflachten Bereichen sind nahe dem oberen Rand des Eimers je zwei sich in Umfangsrichtung erstreckende Schlitze vorgesehen. Der Eimer kann deshalb nur in seiner Gebrauchsstellung wahlweise auf der Seite des Saugzapfens oder der gegenüberliegenden Seite in die Tragvorrichtung eingehängt werden, nicht aber in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung geschwenkt werden.In a known bucket of the type mentioned (DE-U 7 505 911), the bucket wall is flattened both on the side of the suction pin and on the opposite side such that these two flattened areas run parallel to one another and perpendicular to the floor. In these flattened areas, two slots extending in the circumferential direction are provided near the upper edge of the bucket. The bucket can therefore only be hung in the carrying device either in its position of use either on the side of the suction pin or on the opposite side, but cannot be pivoted into a non-use position.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Eimer der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der kostengünstiger als der Eimer der vorstehend erwähnten Tränkeinrichtung und wahlweise in seiner Gebrauchsstellung oder seinen Gebrauchsstellungen und einer demgegenüber gestürzten Stellung gehalten werden kann, der aber dennoch einfach zu handhaben ist. Diese Aufgabe löst ein Eimer mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a bucket of the type mentioned, which can be kept more cost-effectively than the bucket of the aforementioned impregnation device and optionally in its use position or its use positions and a position that has fallen over, but which is nevertheless easy to handle . This object is achieved by a bucket with the features of claim 1.

Da der erfindungsgemäße Eimer zum Einhängen in die Tragvorrichtung mit Durchbrüchen versehen ist, braucht die Tragvorrichtung nur ein Tragelement aufzuweisen, welches den die gewünschte Lage des Eimers ergebenden Durchbruch zu durchdringen vermag. Der Aufwand für eine solche Tragvorrichtung, bei der es sich um ein einfaches Stanzteil handeln kann, ist minimal. Aber auch durch die Durchbrüche wird der Aufwand für den Eimer zumindest dann nicht erhöht, wenn dieser, wie üblich, aus Kunststoff besteht, da dann die Durchbrüche bereits bei der Herstellung des Eimers eingeformt werden können. Um den Eimer von der Gebrauchslage in die gestürzte Lage zu bringen, in welcher er sich nach unten hin öffnet, wodurch in ihm noch enthaltene Flüssigkeit aublaufen kann und der Innenraum des Eimers gegen Verschmutzung weitgehend gesichert ist, braucht er nur aus der Tragvorrichtung ausgehängt und in gestürzter Lage im Bereich seiner unterhalb des Bodens liegenden Randzone wieder in die Tragvorrichtung eingehängt zu werden.Since the bucket according to the invention is provided with openings for hanging in the carrying device, the carrying device need only have one carrying element which can penetrate the opening resulting in the desired position of the bucket. The effort for such a carrying device, which can be a simple stamped part, is minimal. But even through the openings, the effort for the bucket is at least not increased if, as usual, it consists of plastic, since the openings can then be molded in during the manufacture of the bucket. In order to bring the bucket from the position of use into the overturned position, in which it opens downwards, as a result of which liquid still contained in it can run off and the interior of the bucket is largely secured against contamination, it only needs to be removed from the carrying device and in upside down position in the region of its edge zone lying below the floor to be hooked back into the carrying device.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind in der unterhalb des Eimerbodens liegenden Randzone wenigstens drei je um 90° in Umfangsrichtung versetzt angeordnete Durchbrüche vorgesehen, von denen der mittlere gegenüber dem Saugzapfen um 180° versetzt ist. Befindet sich, wie üblich, die Tragvorrichtung an einer Wand, dann kann der Eimer in seiner gestürzten Lage wahlweise drei verschiedene Stellungen bezüglich der Wand einnehmen, nämlich eine Stellung, in welcher der Saugzapfen von der Wand wegweist und zwei Stellungen, in welcher der Saugzapfen parallel zur Wand liegt.In a preferred embodiment, at least three openings, each offset by 90 ° in the circumferential direction, are provided in the edge zone below the bottom of the bucket, the middle of which is offset by 180 ° with respect to the suction pin. If, as usual, the carrying device is on a wall, the bucket in its fallen position can optionally take three different positions with respect to the wall, namely a position in which the suction pin points away from the wall and two positions in which the suction pin is parallel lies to the wall.

Aus Gründen einer stabilen Lage des Eimers sowohl in seiner Gebrauchsstellung als auch der gestürzten Stellung sind vorzugsweise je zwei in Umfangsrichtung im Abstand nebeneinander angeordnete Durchbrüche vorgesehen. Die Tragvorrichtung kann dann mit zwei Tragelementen den Eimer aufnehmen. Da vorteilhafterweise die Tragvorrichtung ein Blechstanzteil mit zwei flachen Zungen als Tragelemente ist, hat bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform jeder Durchbruch die Form eines sich in Umfangsrichtung des Eimers erstreckenden Schlitzes.For reasons of a stable position of the bucket both in its use position and in the upturned position, two openings are preferably provided in the circumferential direction spaced apart. The carrying device can then hold the bucket with two carrying elements. Since the support device is advantageously a stamped sheet metal part with two flat tongues as support elements, in a preferred embodiment each opening has the shape of a slot extending in the circumferential direction of the bucket.

Um sicherzustellen, daß die im Eimer enthaltene Flüssigkeit zumindest weitgehend mittels des Saugzapfens entnommen werden kann, ist vorteilhafterweise der gesamte Eimerboden gegen die Durchführung hin geneigt.In order to ensure that the liquid contained in the bucket can be at least largely removed by means of the suction pin, the entire bottom of the bucket is advantageously inclined towards the passage.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Eimer ebene, rechtwinklig zueinander angeordnete Wandbereiche auf, die an vorzugsweise viertelzylindrisch gekrümmte Eckzonen anschließen. Gegenüber einem Eimer gleicher Höhe hat ein solcher Eimer ein größeres Fassungsvermögen. Vor allem aber hat der Eimer durch diese Form ebene Wandanlageflächen, welche eine stabile Lage bezüglich der Wand fördern. Schließlich sind ebene Wandbereiche vor allem auch dann von großem Vorteil, wenn die Durchbrüche die Form von sich in Umfangsrichtung erstreckenden Schlitzen haben und, ebenfalls aus Stabilitätsgründen, diese Schlitze paarweise nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Die Zungen oder dergleichen der Tragvorrichtung können dann ebenfalls in einer Ebene liegen, was eine äußerst einfache Form der Tragvorrichtung ergibt. Außerdem klemmt sich der Eimer dann, wenn die Tragelemente der Tragvorrichtung schräg nach oben gerichtet von der Wand, an der sie befestigt sind, abstehen, durch sein Gewicht selbsttätig an beiden Tragelementen gleichmäßig fest.In a preferred embodiment, the bucket has flat wall areas arranged at right angles to one another, which adjoin corner zones which are preferably curved in a quarter-cylindrical manner. Compared to a bucket of the same height, such a bucket has a larger capacity. Above all, however, the shape of the bucket has flat wall contact surfaces, which promote a stable position with respect to the wall. Finally, flat wall areas are particularly advantageous when the openings have the shape of slots extending in the circumferential direction and, also for reasons of stability, these slots are arranged in pairs next to one another. The tongues or the like of the carrying device can then also lie in one plane, which results in an extremely simple shape of the carrying device. In addition, when the support elements of the support device project obliquely upward from the wall to which they are attached, the bucket automatically clamps itself evenly on both support elements due to its weight.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Eimers sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 7 und 8.Further advantageous embodiments of the bucket according to the invention are the subject of claims 7 and 8.

Im folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels im einzelnen erläutert. Es zeigen

Ein als Ganzes mit 1 bezeichneter Eimer aus Kunststoff für eine Einrichtung zum Tränken von Tieren, insbesondere Kälbern, hat, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, die Form eines nach oben hin breiter werdenden Pyramidenstumpfes. Die Vorderseite 2 der Eimerwandung, die Rückseite 3 und die beiden seitlichen Wandungsteile 4 sind eben und alle gleich groß. Sie sind, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, miteinander über viertelzylindrisch gekrümmte Eckzonen 5 verbunden. Der Querschnitt des Eimers 1 hat deshalb die Form eines Quadrates mit abgerundeten Eckbereichen.A bucket made of plastic, designated as a whole by 1, for a device for watering animals, in particular calves, has, as FIG. 1 shows, the shape of a truncated pyramid which widens towards the top. The front 2 of the bucket wall, the back 3 and the two side wall parts 4 are flat and all the same size. As shown in FIG. 1, they are connected to one another via corner zones 5 curved in a quarter-cylindrical manner. The cross section of the bucket 1 therefore has the shape of a square with rounded corner areas.

Die Höhe des Eimers 1 ist gleich der Höhe der bekannten,zur Tränkung von Kälbern verwendeten Eimer. Dank der Pyramidenstumpfform ist das Fassungsvermögen etwa 20 % größer.The height of the bucket 1 is equal to the height of the known buckets used to water calves. Thanks to the truncated pyramid shape, the capacity is about 20% larger.

Im oberen Randbereich sind die beiden seitichen Wandungsteile 4 mittig mit je einem Lagerauge 6 versehen. In diesen Lageraugen 6 sind die Endabschnitte eines metallischen Tragbügels 7 drehbar gelagert. Sowohl die Vorderseite 2 als auch die Rückseite 3 ist im oberen Randbereich mit zwei parallel zum oberen Rand verlaufenden Schlitzen 8 versehen, die in Umfangsrichtung im Abstand voneinander symmetrisch zur Mitte der Vorderseite 2 bzw. der Rückseite 3 liegen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist sowohl zwischen den beiden Schlitzen 8 der Vorderseite 2 als auch denjenigen der Rückseite 3 zusätzlich je ein kreiszylindrischer Durchbruch 9 vorhanden.In the upper edge area, the two side wall parts 4 are each provided with a bearing eye 6 in the center. In these bearing eyes 6, the end sections of a metallic support bracket 7 are rotatably mounted. Both the front side 2 and the rear side 3 are provided in the upper edge region with two slots 8 running parallel to the upper edge, which are symmetrically spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction from the center of the front side 2 and the rear side 3. In the exemplary embodiment, a circular cylindrical opening 9 is additionally provided between the two slots 8 on the front side 2 and those on the rear side 3.

Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, weist der Eimer 1 im Abstand vom unteren Rand der Vorderseite 2, der Rückseite 3 und der seitlichen Wandungsteile 4 einen ebenen Boden 10 auf. Der Abstand des Bodens 10 vom unteren Rand ist an der Vorderseite 2 kleiner als an der Rückseite 3, und zwar um einen Betrag, welcher zu einem spitzen Winkel zwischen der Vorderseite 2 und dem Boden 10 sowie zu einem stumpfen Winkel zwischen letzterem und der Rückseite 3 führt.As shown in FIG. 4, the bucket 1 has a flat bottom 10 at a distance from the lower edge of the front 2, the rear 3 and the side wall parts 4. The distance of the base 10 from the lower edge is smaller on the front side 2 than on the rear side 3, namely by an amount which is at an acute angle between the front side 2 and the base 10 and at an obtuse angle between the latter and the rear side 3 leads.

In der zwischen dem Boden 10 und dem unteren Rand liegenden unteren Randzone weisen sowohl die Vorderseite 2, als auch die Rückseite 3 und die seitlichen Wandungsteile 4 je zwei zum Rand parallel verlaufende Schlitze 11 auf, die wie die Schlitze 8 ausgebildet und symmetrisch zur Seitenmitte angeordnet sind. In der Seitenmitte ist zusätzlich zwischen jedem Schlitzpaar ein zylindrischer Durchbruch 12 angeordnet.In the lower edge zone lying between the bottom 10 and the lower edge, both the front side 2, as well as the rear side 3 and the side wall parts 4 each have two slots 11 which run parallel to the edge and which, like the slots 8, are arranged symmetrically to the center of the side are. A cylindrical opening 12 is additionally arranged in the center of the side between each pair of slots.

Etwas oberhalb des Bodens 10 ist die Vorderseite 2 mit einem kreisförmigen Durchbruch 13 (Fig. 1) versehen, in den eine abgewinkelte, ein Ventil enthaltende Durchführung 14 festgelegt ist. Mit dem die Vorderwand 2 durchdringenden Schenkel dieser Durchführung ist ein gleichachsig zu diesem Schenkel angeordneter Saugzapfen 15 verbunden.Somewhat above the bottom 10, the front side 2 is provided with a circular opening 13 (FIG. 1) in which an angled passage 14 containing a valve is fixed. With the leg of this bushing penetrating the front wall 2, a suction pin 15 arranged coaxially with this leg is connected.

Als Tragvorrichtung 16 für den Eimer 1 dient ein Blechstanzteil, das, wie insbesondere Fig. 1 zeigt, aus einem ebenen, rechteckförmigen Befestigungsteil und zwei Zungen 17 besteht, welche an die eine Längsseite des Befestigungsteiles anschließen und aus der Ebene des Befestigungsteils um etwa 45 0 herausgebogen sind. Der Abstand der beiden Zungen 17 voneinander sowie ihre Breite sind an den Abstand beziehungsweise die Länge der Schlitze 8 und 11 angepaßt. Die Tragvorrichtung 16 wird, wie beispielsweise Fig. 2 zeigt, derart an einer Wand 18 befestigt, daß der Befestigungsteil an der Wand 18 anliegt und die Zungen 17 sich nach oben und von der Wand 18 weg erstrecken.A sheet metal stamped part, which, as shown in particular in FIG. 1, consists of a flat, rectangular fastening part and two tongues 17, which connect to one longitudinal side of the fastening part and from the plane of the fastening part by approximately 45 °, serves as the carrying device 16 for the bucket 1 are bent out. The distance between the two tongues 17 and their width are adapted to the distance or the length of the slots 8 and 11. The support device 16, as shown for example in FIG. 2, is fastened to a wall 18 in such a way that the fastening part lies against the wall 18 and the tongues 17 extend upwards and away from the wall 18.

Bei der in Fig 2 dargestellten Gebrauchslage kommt die Rückseite 3 des Eimers 1 in Anlage an die Wand 18. Die Zungen 17 durchdringen dabei die Schlitze 8 der Rückwand 3 von außen nach innen und bilden eine schiefe Ebene, auf der die oberen Begrenzungsflächen der Schlitze 8 infolge des Eimergewichtes nach unten gleiten, bis die Rückseite 3 an der Wand 18 anliegt.2, the rear side 3 of the bucket 1 comes into contact with the wall 18. The tongues 17 penetrate the slots 8 of the rear wall 3 from the outside inwards and form an inclined plane on which the upper boundary surfaces of the slots 8 due to the bucket weight, slide down until the back 3 abuts the wall 18.

Sofern die Wand 18 mit einer Durchtrittsöffnung 19 für den Saugzapfen 15 versehen ist, kann man, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, den Eimer 1 auch so an die Tragvorrichtung 16 anhängen, daß die Zungen 17 die in der Vorderseite 2 vorgesehenen Schlitze 8 von außen nach innen durchgreifen. Es kommt dann die Vorderseite 2 in Anlage an die Wand 18, wobei der Saugzapfen von der dem Eimer 1 abgekehrten Seite der Wand 18 her zugänglich ist.If the wall 18 is provided with a passage opening 19 for the suction pin 15, as can be seen in FIG. 3, the bucket 1 can also be attached to the carrying device 16 in such a way that the tongues 17 extend the slots 8 provided in the front 2 from the outside reach through inside. Then the front side 2 comes into contact with the wall 18, the suction pin being accessible from the side of the wall 18 facing away from the bucket 1.

Wie Fig. 5 zeigt, kann der Eimer 1 auch in gestürzter Lage an die Tragvorrichtung 16 angehängt werden. Dabei durchdringen die Zungen 18 die Schlitze 11. In dieser Lage können Flüssigkeitsreste abtropfen. Außerdem ist der Innenraum des Eimers 1 weitgehend gegen eine Verschmutzung geschützt. Statt der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Lage, in welcher die Rückseite 3 an der Wand 18 anliegt, kann selbstverständlich der Eimer auch derart an die Tragvorrichtung 16 angehängt werden, daß die Zungen 17 in die Schlitze 11 des einen oder anderen seitlichen Wandungsteiles 4 eingreifen. Die beiden Zungen 17 und ihre schräge Lage bezüglich der Wand 18 gewährleisten auch bei einem Anhängen des Eimers in gestürzter Position eine stabile Lage.As FIG. 5 shows, the bucket 1 can also be attached to the carrying device 16 in an upside-down position. The tongues 18 penetrate the slots 11. In this position, liquid residues can drip off. In addition, the interior of the bucket 1 is largely protected against contamination. Instead of the position shown in Fig. 5, in which the back 3 abuts the wall 18, the bucket can of course also be attached to the support device 16 such that the tongues 17 engage in the slots 11 of one or the other side wall part 4. The two tongues 17 and their inclined position with respect to the wall 18 ensure a stable position even when the bucket is attached in the fallen position.

Alle in der vorstehenden Beschreibung erwähnten sowie auch die nur allein aus der Zeichnung entnehmbaren Merkmale sind als weitere Ausgestaltungen Bestandteile der Erfindung, auch wenn sie nicht besonders hervorgehoben und insbesondere nicht in den Ansprüchen erwähnt sind.All of the features mentioned in the above description and also the features that can only be inferred from the drawing are further refinements of the invention, even if they are not particularly emphasized and in particular are not mentioned in the claims.
